Health Tips From People Who've Lived 100-plus Years

Blowing
out 100 birthday candles is more possible than ever. According to the
U.S. National Institute on Aging, we're on the brink of a watershed
moment in history. Quite soon, there will be more people on Earth who
are 65 than 5.
And longevity is reaching new records. The oldest
documented woman alive today is 116—this means she was 45 years old
during the attack on Pearl Harbor, 73 years old when the first man
walked on the moon, and already 93 when the Berlin Wall fell.
So
what does it take to live to 100? According to study conducted by the
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, it's mostly a matter of
genes. But science is also showing that even small efforts toward taking
care of our health, such as exercise and diet, can have a striking
effect on how long we live. http://www.wdalaw.com/espanol/Oficinadeabogadosenrepublicadominicana.php
But
what about quality of life after 100? We've gone around the U.S. to
find centenarians who are showing us the way. Our centenarians offered
great insight. This advice might not be anything we've not heard before,
but it takes on deeper meaning when it's from those who have lived long
enough and well enough to know what they're talking about.
Now, meet the Centarians!
